Ngl this sounds like the only good tip I've ever heard on one of these shorts

[Rainbow_Neos]

"I applied 10 other places. You are the only one who called for an interview"

[MiochiMii]

Interviewer: "Why do you wanna work here?"
Me: "Money"
Erin, whispering: "Pssst. Don't focus on the "why" focus on the "here"!"
Me, whispering back: "Ok, thanks!"
Me, at the Interviewer: "This place is offering the most money."
Interviewer: "Out."

"I'm looking for a company to invest my time and effort into that will invest their time and effort into me."

During my last interview, they started by making sure I could work nights. I said no. As we were about to wrap things up, the manager asked me if I were comfortable answering a couple of questions about my current position, including my wage, as they were entering the market in my country. I was cool about it and answered it honestly. He said they were offering double that, to which I answered I'd gladly work nights for that pay. Long story short, I got the job. I was honest, the hiring manager was honest, it worked. Not every interview is the same.

I got that in an interview today. "Why do you want to work here?" "I'm unemployed and you're hiring." I didn't really say that, but I thought it.

I hate the fakeness of job interviews 😂 like I know that you know and you know that I know that the answer is money and that I'm not passionate about Wal-Mart but for some reason we have to play by this stupid little code and pretend like that's not the truth

Edit: Since people are GOING OFF in the replies, I'm talking about when you're forced to interview for a job that is not your dream job in order to survive. I'm being painted as shallow here for some reason, but yes I have a degree that I'm passionate about. People are acting like money isn't the thing that pays for your bills, food, etc. and as if it's a choice to work and as if I have all these options around me to be super selective in where I work. You don't know where I live, what my degree is in, and what the market is like for my field of study. If you can find passion in customer service, good on you, but if the only jobs in your field are further away than you can afford to move right now and you need to make money to live in the meantime, you are allowed to take what job you can get and not be passionate about it. It's unrealistic to expect everyone interviewing for Chipotle to be like "I'm a big foodie, I love preparing for for people, Chipotle is the best restaurant in the world, I'm so passionate about this business, and I love interacting with customers all day". It's perfectly reasonable to work there because you need a job and your dream job isn't feasible right now.

Maybe management should stop asking that question because everyone would love to not work for money and do so for personal fulfillment. If working was optional Chipotle would have 0 staff. The answer is always money

"I dont wanna starve" is valid af

[pourtheraisins]

my friend said "i'm applying because subway rejected me" LMAOO

[shadow_leaf]

I actually did say money at my previous job and manager thought it was funny and she liked my honesty so she hired me

[justwanttoviewvideo]

Good advice, but i think it is bullshit that we have to bullshit to get a job.

My immediate thought was "...they have air conditioning and a bathroom?"

[minksrule]

I normally read the website of the company and just rephrase what they said about working there on the careers part of the website.

"Because the mowing lawns guy didn't reply"

[Truhsty]

I once told a job that I like acquiring useless knowledge and that's why I wanted to work there. The smile instantly leg their face and they cut the interview short lmao

[galactick]

Remember the interview to my current job - came, was asked if I fulfill the education requirements, which I did. Then my boss basically went "this is the salary for the position, these are the hours, this is the training you will go through. Does that work for you?" (Government job, but still)

If I were to ever start a business this would be how I would conduct the interviews, people find a job to make money, anything else is irrelevant to the employer
